📊 Chronic Absenteeism Update — 1st 9 Weeks
Morgan County Schools’ goal for the 2025–2026 school year is to have less than 15% of our students chronically absent.
A student is considered chronically absent if they miss more than 10% of the school year.

Here’s where we stand at the end of the first 9 weeks:
BSHS: 15.61%
PPES: 23.61%
PPHS: 16.67%
PVES: 16.55%
WSIS: 15.91%
WSMS: 15.74%
WES: 22.59%
MCS District Average: 17.11%

We’re close to our goal at several schools and moving in the right direction! With everyone’s help — families, staff, and community — we can make sure students are in school and ready to learn every day.
